The Studio for Digital CraftsmanshipFounding Member

Jan. 2016 - Dec. 2018ChicagoOur passion is sophisticated systems and intuitive design. Whether it be complex technology solutions, front-end user experience challenges, innovative AI development and more, we love hard problems, complicated systems, challenging technologies. We like integrating these technologies so that the sum of their parts becomes something greater. We like digging for simple answers in complex scenarios. Our expertise is in understanding people, then addressing the systems and technologies that will serve them. Too often, design starts with tools and frameworks. We're systems agnostic. We're fast learners on the outside chance we haven't worked with something you're using. We start where you are, then build incrementally with you and your team.

Tenthwave Digital LLCVice President, Business Development

Jan. 2013 - Dec. 2015ChicagoManaged all new business development activities for our Chicago office. This included things such as prospecting, messaging, cold calling, qualifying, presenting, proposal writing, etc. Tenthwave's story includes the idea to change the way an agency delivers value to clients. It's grounded in the belief that you can create powerful efficiencies when you move THINKING closer to clients. In this new model, clients spend more time with thinkers, strategists and senior-level staff - who in turn spend more time experiencing, touching and living your brand. This leads to better ideas, faster execution, and less money wasted on low-level paper-pushing. We do the things you might think are normally reserved for the mega-agencies, but cheaper, faster and smarter. Our clients will tell you...we simply do more, for less. To have a serious impact on your brand, your digital agency should be thinking about all the things that produce change, disruption, and results. At Tenthwave, we’ve moved that type of thinking closer to our clients. It’s a small shift with dramatic effect.
